obama was super chill., it is me and mccain. >> turns out one of his earliest supporters is a man named bill ayers who according to "the new york times" was a domestic terrorist. and it sure would be nice if even just once he would say that he wants america to win! >> the thing i think that was the most jarring for people who were watching what she was doing were the ways in which she just openly invited white americans to hate barack obama. >> now, this is not a man who sees america as you and i see america. this, ladies and gentlemen, has nothing to do with the kind of change that anyone can believe in, not my kids and not your kids. >> there were a lot of code words. i mean sarah palin had her role to play, and that role was to kind of stoke the sense of suspicions, this fear of who barack obama was and what he potentially represented. you know, laying those seeds out there that were seeds of doubt, if you will, into the actual character -- not necessarily the politics, but the character of barack obama.

so what does obama do in response?e brings the police officer and gates to the white house for a beer summit. >> i noticed this has been called the beer summit. it's a clever term. but this is not a summit, guys. this is three folks having a drink at the end of the day. >> you know, it's the ongoing task, whether you're in the white house or you're teaching at princeton or you're working at the post office, is to figure out how to dampen white fear. i've got to make white america comfortable with me again. so let's have a drink. let's create the conditions under which we can at least make the theater of race in the country less threatening. >> the table was set. the press was in place. there were refreshments. there was even diplomatic language. >> we had a cordial and productive discussion. what you had today was two gentlemen agree to disagree. >> it led to this multiday freakout on cable news and ultimately this kind of very dumb beer summit where obama has to sit there with the cop and gates and look like everythin

president obama was aware of this.re whenever he could, he would make a point to make sure the boys were invited when the nba basketball players came to the house or something like that. this is nicky. he invited him in the oval office to share a power bar with him. um -- nicky came to one of my book signings. he's now a sophomore at duke. and told me how much this picture meant to him. and he realizes now the good work that his mom was doing. there's still some lobbying to be done, lots of phone calls. this is in the limo with his legislative director. and i think this was the phone call where he realized that they probably had enough votes. and he took his lucky charms off his pocket. i saw he took his lucky charms out that morning. i was like, okay, this is a good sign. >> it's done. >> the bill is passed. [ cheers and applause ] ♪♪ >> he felt on this day that he got something done that bettered people's lives. i had shingles. horrible. a young thing like me? actually anyone 50 or over is at increased risk for shing

bush, barack obama. my goal here is not just -- again, to bring together what we have been learning about the presidency as a written experience, but also to think about memoir. that is the way a lot of americans learn about presidents. they read the books those presidents and first ladies wrote. my hope today is we can make sense of how those all operate together. before we get into them, i want to ask all of you a question -- or a series of questions. we are talking now about the notion of a private life for presidents and their families. let's begin by defining what areas of our lives we would normally consider to be private, that are not the property of the public domain. i'm not asking any of you to share anything from your private lives, obviously. i'm not sharing anything of mine, but i'm wondering what areas of one's life do you consider to be fundamentally private, nobody's business, unless you choose to disclose it. health. absolutely, thomas. what else? >> [inaudible] dr. kastor: relationships

is it obama 2.0? i'm not sure it's that exactly because a lot of things have changed by the mere fact of who donald trump is and was in what he did. but i think in terms of what hene learned, i think he learned who other people are. think he holds a sensibility of think he'd notched it back a little bit in those meetings with the kids who in the beginning of the obama administration were kind of making fun of him behind his back, uncle joe is people tell us, sleepy joe a lot of those words came from the obama young people in the white house and the other agencies in the very beginning are now senior people in the biden administration. he obviously does not carry grudges either. >> were chocolate the incoming president, joe biden freed the new documentary by pbs frontline is called presidenty biden, filmmaker michael kirk here with us to take your questions and comments about mr. biden's career, andy in lewiston california it independent you are a firster go-ahead. >> caller: good morning to both of yo

he had one with obama and obama said was the first night in the white house. it seemed unreal and amazing. you don't usually have the president talking about that. first ladies do that. this individuality issue this individuality issue definitely shows up. but i will hold off on that. we talk about marriage and parenting, let's bracket that also with those most private areas of life that you all identified. family instant relationships, health, finances. marriage and parenting -- again, that's about family. what do these memoirs say about what it means to be first lady but it comes to marriage and parenting? >> [indiscernible] michelle obama and betty ford talk the most about it. dr. kastor: absolutely. it's a great point. it's also different from sarah polk and edith wilson because wilson's kids are grown, polk's kids are grown. the ford kids are kind of grown. they're older. the obama girls were really young. so, yeah, it's really difficult. what else do they say about parenting? >> wanting to retain normalcy and give her children something -- not average, b

obama's first year in the senate.e this picture because, you know, he's got half a sandwich in his mouth. and then, sasha's eyeing the other half. this is the day i met him. the presence of my camera didn't bother him at all, you know, which is not always the case, especially with politicians. >> did that say anything about him, to you? >> you know, i found a good subject. >> this was the first day that he was in washington, as the newly elected senator. and malia was 6. senator obama spent the day with his family, and showing them around. and helping them understand what it was like. sasha was 3. >> i mean, i think he thought i was a competent photographer. i continued to further that trust, as the year went by. >> why, in the age of youtube and so much internet video, do photographs still have a very powerful impact in terms of covering politics? >> you know, i -- i -- i like the still photograph. it stops time. you can remember a still photograph. a lot of photojournalists, now, are evolving into video. but i still

president obama took office vowing to close the facility in one year. fast forward to 2013, it was still opened. doens of inmates went to hunger strike. president obama describing guantanamo guantanamo as a facility that should never have been opened. the successor said they were terrorists and it should be kept open. for more on this, joining us in washington d.c., we have human rights counselor and cuppingted an investigation into the c.i.a.'s. from london, a legal adviser for amnesty international and commissioned the report and in new york, director of the center on national security at fordham university. welcome to all. coming to you, first, do you think joe biden will shut ip down? >> that is hope springs aterm. how to go about doing this, we have counsel in association with a number of n.g.o.'s have come up with a series of recommendations how he can do so and re-opening or recreating the state department's position and starting to negotiate and transfer out. i think he has a good road map for doing so and now that he has congress, his options a

host: what did he learn from president obama? >> he learned i think a certain calm aspect from what we can tell, they had a very good partnership with the most important thing joe biden got from brock obamaam was the obama halo which is the halo effect that if you are that close to obama and he embraced you at a time when a lot of black people in the country were very worried about biden and who he was as a white guy and the new segregationist in the senate on the wrong side of the media and clarence thomas moment in history with the supreme court and the crime bill, a lot of things that once obama picked him and spent time and it was clear they did have a working relationship and he was handling things obama couldn't handle, he earned the obama halo and i think that's why he has who he has in his government now. host: how well his service as vice president help or hurt his administration? >> he knows the people he has put in place. but remember i'm not sure joe biden i mean i think he believes what he hears sometimes that's a ha

for obama, was "felons close but not families.trunk, is going after alleged criminals and rapist, not the good people that occasionally come across. the story of the bad ombre has been weaponized over the decades, punished entire immigrant communities. i contrasting the "bad ombre" with the "good immigrant" who work initially hard and never break any rules, essentially what politicians are doing is reducing immigrantives to caricatures can bexploed and expelled from the country. i think it is very important that we be very careful about e narratives that are being used both in the media as well as by politicians. i personally come from a lineage of so-called what would be considered "bad hombres" and my father is an immigrant from mexico who struggled with substance abuse, is the subject of my first book. for made, this is impersonal. my father is a type of nonwhite person who is devalued and dehumanized by immigration narratives and policies, whether it is trump's bed ombre's or obama's "felons not families." this is something i

(laughs) >> barack obama is projected to be the next president. >> senator barack obama of illinois..r: he'd turned a political crisis into a relationship, and became vice president. >> 47 years old, he'll become the president... >> he had already squared away in his mind that he understood that barack obama was president, joe was vice president. and joe understood the job of vice president and, and, uh...w. >> narrator: in the obama white house, biden brought with him something the president didn't have: relationships in congress spanning decades. >> these were his recently former colleagues, and he knew that he could call them and they would take his call, and that he could go and thrash issues out with them with a degree of comfort that president obama didn't have, bause he hadn't known them as long as vice president biden. >> narrator: biden became obama's trusted partner. >> the real question isn't what thing did you do, if you're vice president. the real question is, how much influence did you have? and i think binds power and leveraging power. i think he had a genuine relations

>> julissa reynoso, who is actually from new york and moving down here but served in the obama-bidenuncement that dr. biden made that julissa will be the co-chair of the new gender equality council at the white house. so that signals to me and along with others on that staff, it will be a very busy working office with a full complement of a staff, starting on day one. the joining forces initiative is being restarted. dr. biden is bringing that back. of course, you know something that she worked on with first lady michelle obama and bringing back that same director who served before to the white house. so i think she's putting in place some pretty strong people to be overseeing the initiatives she cares about. education will be at the top of the list, too, and that will cross cut almost everything that she does. but at the end of the day, too, one of the most important responsibilities of the speaker of of -- of thespouse of the pre their fierce protector and sanctuary in the white house because all the responsibility that falls on the president's shoulders now, tas you all know -- as

can you imagine getting inside the head of the obamas, particularly barack obama right now. he worked really hard to make this moment happen. he defied the norms of former presidents because he felt that he had to because donald trump did way too much of that in campaigning very aggressively for his vice president to be able to be here today, to take the oath as the 46th president of the united states. he worked really hard four years ago, didn't have the same result, but this is different and it is very, very personal. >> and michelle obama, too. she has had quite the year of coming out with the criticism of the current administration. i think back to four years ago when the two of them were in this same place and witnessing the inauguration of donald trump. this has to be a full-circle moment. >> hillary clinton -- >> talk about a different vibe. >> a full circle moment for all of them. >> i assume bill clinton will be coming out the other side. we don't have as good a view of that. there she is. there he is walking in with her. dana, we were discussing yesterday the stren

i mean, when barack obama was president, obviously you were in the obama biden white house.wjoe biden very well. obama talked so much about the tilt to asia. are we going to see a tilt to asia underjoe biden, do you think? 0h, most definitely. and i would remind your audience that the reason why president obama and vice president biden were so supportive of the tpp, the trade agreement that would have bound the united states and 11 countries, not only would it have opened up a huge market for us companies to trade in asia, but it also would have isolated china and we would have set high standards in terms of everything from human rights to the environment and business trade policies. and it would have isolated china. and so whether or not it is possible to re—enter those conversations is yet to be seen. but i know that president elect biden understands the potential of that market for all us companies and also appreciates the fact that we have to collectively hold china accountable. it's not something that any one country can do alone. all right, richard, do you like what yo

did president obama did which is wall to proposals down to such an extent in a bid to get republican support and by the way not in the end not perhaps get that republicans vote a watered down the proposal anyway that the emergency action needed to help the economy health care system the environment will simply not even happen i mean barack obama off the 2008 financial crisis in a bid to not spook the republicans too much in the end off for a stimulus package which many feel was not enough and as a result people didn't feel that main street was being bailed out while will street was being bailed out i'm then at the midterms barack obama was published and he lost control of congress and so that all of these debates now the democratic party about what sort of strategy biden should take and the indications so far have been that biden doesn't want to use aggressive presidential power to solve these problems he still believes that he has this magic touch with the republicans in congress and he can he can build build these bridges between democrats and republicans that i'm not as a lot of a

thank you to president obama.then-candidate and i am chairman, saying basically this was something that he was go to get across the goal line. that got my attention. i actually started to review and study it over two years. this was not easy to put together, as you can imagine, inside the pentagon. and going for that to getting to a point where it was possible was extraordinary. and i did a lot of my own sensing, if you will, with focus groups around the world. we shouldn't forget we were in war in iraq and afghanistan at the time. from my perspective, one of the ways i said it was, i couldn't get anybody under 30 years old to actually be overly concerned about the issue. young people make up the vast majority of the military, but wanted to talk about other things of their concern, not this. and in the focus groups i did with those who had retired and discharged, about living a lie every day they were in uniform, those were the ones that really moved me in the end. plaudits forf courage the day i testified. actual

i think that many people house because president obama chill and different enough. frankly with the deal with issues such as the don't we both externally should all people involved in that or be some d.v.d.'s or don't think it's the ones who rejected it president obama but it's invoked us to these tell you this or we're you know we'd better let it in and we get into the woods of the past but bill you know and you basically spill it if the truth there but it's impure people don't have meaning won't it actions you was going to reject it in the states i'm basing that one will need to get a unity love of it until it is really these each and into the early days it. was not happen to be doing to the united states or the president obama was for him to beat and they do or i think it is a lot but it bends a lot on what by us rulers wants. it to once all that stuff with a lot of it would be even better we said it with these not the house they can be looked at we don't ask a big ugly boy in the us go in the can is all it will be. is cheap only be achieved. going to be a produc

president obama clearly my story on this as i heard then candidate obama on the campaign trail and i'm chairman, say basically that this is something he was going to get across the goal line and that got my attention. i actually started to review it and study it over to your period or this was not easy to put can imagine by the pentagon and going from bat to getting to a point where it was possible was really extraordinary and i did a lot of my own fencing if you will with focus groups around the worlddun including and we shouldn't forget we were in iraq and afghanistan and from my perspective one of the ways i say this i couldn't get anybody under 30 years old to be overly concerned about this issue on people make up the vast majority the military and they wanted to talk about other things that were of concern but not the sprayed in the focus groups i did with those who have retired and have been discharged without living a lie everyday in uniform those were the ones that really moves me and anne. i get a lot of points for courage today that i testify. i didn't see it as courageous at

of the obama's protect its own existence as a excuse. to taste awful like absolutely awful 1st came coded then a 2nd wave they say the food is coming now the virus is mutating i've walked 2 blocks away from the apartment and i would get confused as to holly given that. meanwhile patients who recovered from cove it started to report some unusual after effects the symptoms were different but. my hearing has been ok i think. one of the things red flag research is all over the world are trying to determine the many aches pains and other problems and then turn it all into numbers shutting my hair. this is throughout the day. i talked to multiple doctors and my doctor and they said that you're going to have a hard time in recovery you're going to be one of those people that they consider a long. outgoing u.s. president donald trump is continuing to stay in america day by day on monday his administration read designated cuba as a state sponsor of terror. ironic considering this was just days after a domestic terrorism attack led by trump laid s

obama? it was awful. it was really a shock that someone would commit to performing, especially someone at a kids state dinner. i don't want to say the name because -- >> those other rules. >> it was terrell williams. >> i want people to believe we are not paying, taxpayers are not paying for entertainment. and the white house. >> i'm sure you have a good one. >> i have to say the most difficult guests were members of congress. a sense of entitlement there, whether it was an individual senator, or the entire congressional picnic, i have negative memories. i remember we think degree a senator who is coming to see president bush at the family residence. i saw him pull up to the north critical, he opened the door, and i saw him take the bottle and drink something and start motion around and his mouth and spit it out on the steps that the white house. and then he stumbled up, he was clearly very drunk. i took him up to the meeting, i thought that was fairly appalling. but then, you go to the congressional picn

i think many people has all the goals but is it an obama chill in the front in the. drug dealing with the deal with issues. they don't we both externally should all people who lived in italy said. t.v. these or i think it's the ones who are. in president obama but it's in the just who are these tell you this or we're not we but a lot it's in the nature. of the. bill and you basically spill it if the truth there but it's into old so people don't have meaning won't it actions know who he was going to. get in the united states i'm basing that one who need to get a unity love of it until it is really the each in the only deep it. was the probably doing to the united states or the president obama was for him to be's and the 2 were i think he's a lot but it bends a little what biting us through as opposed. to once all that stuff with a lot of it would be easy. even these no not just they can be looked at we don't think it's ugly or poorly and doug that you wish go were in the can it's all . cheap or we didn't usually your cheap i'm out of india going to be a producer and e

i think and there is barack obama and michelle obama who also promised to bring the country together. and he and barack obama won huge majorities was very successful. 2 terms and still the divisiveness remain the partisanship remained because it was politically expedient and we saw of course secretary of state former secretary of state hillary clinton that of course also ran twice for president then it's like joe biden someone who's who long live to see it all trial and that and many of the things that she had not predicted but characterized in debates leading up to the election of former president donald trump proved prophetic. well yeah i mean i think donald trump is probably is maybe one of the most earnest and straightforward presidents the united states ever had it was no secret what he what he set out to do he was very clear what he stood for what he wanted he you know because he was not a career politician or policy politician who really didn't know the levers of government and how government really works and what the role of the president is. he was he made no secret in his ra

sainthood they called the "obama lo." >> joe biden has the obama halo, everybody knows that. cleansing of joe biden and everything tt may have happened. and e this sh a great irony, that someone who was the architect of the '94 crime bill, and a white man of this age, en you think about anita hill, his crutch, his... the reason for his success is a black man with a funny name who's kind of skinny from hawaii >> blaives matter! black lives matter! black lives matter! >> narrator: in those years as vice president, biden would confront yet more crises. among them: the building racial tensions... >> don't touch me. >> narrator: growing outrage over police violence against african americans. >> black lives matter! black lives matter! >> narrator: then, news of a revenge shooting against the police. >> we begin tonight with breaking news. a deadly police shooting in new york city. >> two new york city police officers are dead following an ambush saturday afternoon. assassinated. >> amateur video captured the frantic scene, as paramedics desperately tried to save the lives of office

ok some of these indicators were moving in that direction under obama's last years but it is a fact that the uninsured rate has gone up and a trump from. from 10.9 percent 260213 point 7 in 2019 life expectancy ok it was falling under obama in 2014 it's continued to do so as for pay and race quarter 32900 figures have media week median weekly earnings 3 quarters of the level of white men as a black man i mean you know what it used to be has under obama. it grew it grew dramatically under trump i mean african-american suffered mightily under obama he didn't do anything for them they have the highest wages the lowest unemployment and the highest employment and under under china and also the death rate in america grew under obama and the death rate in america has gone down every year on the job including this year with the number of covert guess it's lower than obama's last 4 years every year he has brought down the death rate including this year where it seems almost impossible to do plus you say uninsured people are uninsured want to be uninsured they'd rather be uninsured young people th

to what extent you see the trump presidency as a reaction to president obama?ing of overreach, office, of being of overreach, of being irresponsible, i'm not protecting the country, those are many other that president trump has done well in office ——of not protecting. when obama was running for office he was accused of being a celebrity and made for television president and those of the same kinds of things that president trump embodies, and of course, it's a backlash to the fact that president obama was the first black president, i think it is not a coincidence that the president that followed president obama was somebody who makes the kind of racial politics that trump does, court to who he is as president. i5 to who he is as president. is there any historical analogy for the way that president trump has enhanced the populist wing of republicanism, so that it is really colliding with conservatism, which is what we saw, the division here among republicans in washington this week? . ., , ., , week? there certainly have been presidents _ week? there certainly ha

president obama was. he wanted a little bit more information. he was less willing to take the gamble, the informed gamble based on the intelligence that president obama had and gave the president tremendous credit for making that decision in that moment. >> o'donnell: i think that, you know, president biden is well respected as someone who chaired the foreign relations committee. there have been notable secretaries who served including robert gates who wasgoat c.i.a. director and director of defense that have been harshly critical of joe biden who said he made a number of poor decisions when it came to national security. >> yes, and one thing that will be interesting in terms of joe biden's experience is one thing with presidents, they come in, they're new, and the information they git from the pentagon is shamed for them, and someone who don't have experience don't necessarily know they have been told something. joe biden has been around. president obama tasked him to be the skeptic in the room when it c

because president obama chill and different enough. frankly with the deal we can should. they don't we both externally should all people involved in debt or be some d.v.d.'s or don't think it's the ones who are really. in president obama but it's in the us who needs tell you or we're not we'd better let it. get into the bucket of the past but bill and he basically spill it if we treat their presidency old so people don't have meeting won't even actions know who he was going to. get in the states i'm basing that one who need to get a uni love that only until it is really these each and into the early d. it never was the probably doing to the united states or the president obama was for him to beat on the 2 were i think he's a lot but it depends a lot on what biting us ruler and what's. in it 2 words or perhaps a lot of it would be. even these not the house they can beat us and we don't ask a big ugly boy in drug us go in we can all. live needs is cheap it usually your job i'm proud of indeed going to be a researcher and even. simulating a not that we are united right it. w

i think many people has all the girls but is it an obama chill and b. fun enough. for glee with the deal we should. they don't we both externally should all people in peace have d.v.d.'s or don't think it's the ones who really needed it. see that obama put it in the just who needs tell you to move forward and we'd better let it. get into the woods of the past but bill you know and you basically spill it if the truth there but it's in to people to have meaning won't even actions know who he was going to. get in the united states a basic gut one who need to get a unity love until it is really these each and into the early deep it never was the be doing to the united states or the president obama was for him to be on the group i think he's a lot but it bends a little what biting us through as opposed. to once all that stuff with a lot of it would be easy. even these not the house they can be your list and we don't just ugly borean doug that you wish go were in the can it's all. live in the. cheap old we didn't usually your cheap i'm proud of indeed going to be a resea

obama? so it was awful. but it was really a shock that someone would commit to performing at the kids state dinner, and i don't want to say the name because ... >> i'm glad that -- i think we're glad that taxpayers are not paying for performance and entertainment at the white house. >> i would have to say that the most difficult guests have always been members of congress. there is a sense of entitlement there. whether it's an individual senator or at the entire congression, i have some negative memories. i remember waiting to greet a senator was coming to see president bush. he pulled up to the north portico, i saw him walk out the car and switch something from a bottle in his mouth and then spin it on the steps of the white house. then he stumbled up, because he was clearly drunk, and then brought into his meeting. i thought that was fairly appalling. then you go to these congressional picnics which are an annual and painful thing. it's all members and their spouses and immediate family. and they all defy

and michelle obama there as well we've just seen a shot of them the obama's and the bush. these do get on very well they all get on with each other very well there is a distinct air of friendship and genuine respect amongst those 3 former presidents and 3 former 1st ladies will stay with these establishing arrival shots and the top 2 she have for tansy who's on the national mall for us another moment another image of normality there she had former presidents former 1st ladies turning up seeing their friends again just to be there to be close to this moment of american history. i did so interesting what you were saying there about hillary clinton and all trump and why hillary clinton last 7 or the main reasons was well actually the main reasons or she didn't even bother to count painting in key battleground states like wisconsin and michigan i think fact it's interesting now i mean hearing alan talk about the possibility of donald trump now running again starting up his own party and and alan saying well you know some democrats are already saying oh go for it we'll split th

that was something similar obama had to do.s coming out of the iraq war experience, people who were distrustful of what the united states intentions were and he began the process. the difference is biden comes to us with some pre-existing relationship. somebody said at one point when i was writing the book they said you could drop joe, this is one of his foreign-policy. you can drop joe by into any capital in the world and he'll know some joe blow, he will have metthat person at some point along the way . and there's something valuable there for a country like ours in a moment of call it what it is, reconstruction . >> it's rare to have a new president that's surefooted on foreign-policy as joe i is in terms of these relationships you're talking about and his tenure in the senate even before he came to the white house where he insisted on being a central player in the national security and foreign policy decisions of the obama administration and this is a lot of the questions are on the subject and i don't want to miss the chan

i think many people has biggles but is it in the obama chill in the front in the. throat dealing with the we should. they don't we both externally should all people in peace have. t v d's or i think it's the ones who are really. in president obama but it's in the us who these started to move forward and we'd better look at it in an. issue. of the past but bill and he basically still it if we treat their presence in. people to have meaning won't even actions know who he was going to. get in the united states i'm basing that one who need to get a unity love of it until it is really these each and into the only it. was the probably doing to the united states or the president obama was for him to beat on the who are i think he's a lot but it depends a little on what biting us ruler and what's. in it to ones that still fit a lot of it would be. even these not just they can be us and we don't exist ugly or poorly and doug that you wish go were in the can it's all. live needs is cheap only it usually your cheap i'm proud of indeed going to be a researcher and even. simula
